You all are a lot more forgiving about Watkins. There are a handful of former Bills that I really dislike. And he is one of them (Gilmore, Jairus Byrd, and Dareus). Re Watkins, he is soft (mentally and physically), always has a ton of excuses, and produces poorly for his obvious talent level and his salary. He’s just an underachieving slacker. Chiefs’ fans appear to have the same view of him— total frustration and irritation for him giving so little for how much he makes.

Leslie Frazier: “Sweep the toe. You have a problem with that?” Justin Zimmer: “No, sensei.” Leslie Frazier: “No mercy.”

You too!! It’s been a great ride!! I was ages 11-15 During those 4 years. I have great memories— but, to think, it’s been 27 years! Who knows if this will happen again any time soon? Just going to treasure it.

This is even better than last week. love the line: “this underdog is going to bite.”

Kind of just hit me— tomorrow is the biggest Bills game I will have experienced in my adult life.

if they win tomorrow, this will be the best single season in team history, IMO. a lot of that has to do with overcoming covid, the meteoric rise of Allen, and the quality of their regular season and playoff wins.

Exactly. Why is Lamar better? Because I saw him have a ridiculous run a week ago against the Titans. The analysis is so shallow— it’s mostly recency bias. I know Matthieu is very good, but because he had a good game against Cleveland last week, he is suddenly now like Ed Reed and will shut down an entire side of the field? I suppose we can also expect Taron to get another pick 6, and to hold the chiefs to 3, while we are playing this game.

TBH, if you have only casually watched both teams all year and have your general talking points, you are picking the chiefs here. The analysis is easy— they shut josh down in the first game and Josh player poorly last week, Matthieu is a beast (because he had a great game last week), and Mahomes is the best QB in the league. I think the people that study the tape and have watched both of these teams’ games critically are more evenly split on who is going to win, if not picking the Bills at a higher rate. I think the Bills are going to surprise a lot of people tomorrow.

To be fair to you, I am not sure PM does his 12-yard drifting drop backs all the time. Seems like it’s mostly in long-yardage situations to buy more time.

Re stunts, Kollman has a video where he basically said don’t stunt the chiefs. Due to PM’s super deep drop at times, the edge rushers can race around the tackles pretty easily.

Dang, you need to let go of that!! 😁

I have been looking at similar stuff, and haven’t seen high wind projections. The latest stuff I have seen from the local feeds is light mist and nothing mentioned about high winds. Not doubting you— but if you can provide a channel you are looking at, that would be great. That way I can obsessively Follow it too and stress out some more.

until this thread, I had never even heard of Duke Thomas.

So I am going to be that guy. Someone needs to take a bullet. Does this mean Antonio Williams will remain on the PS and not be potentially on the game day roster?

Today’s David Hasselhoff research project ended up in some sad news. The guy looks totally broke. On Twitter, he is auctioning off all this knight rider and bay watch memorabilia. His music career also looks pretty sad— he released his first heavy metal Album in December.

where are you seeing that wind? Everything I am seeing says 9 MPH. Also, I have read that the walls of that stadium are straighter or higher or something, such that wind on the field ends up being less of an issue. Not sure how accurate that is.

they can do what the browns did last week. Maybe not run as well— but run well enough and then do better in the play action pass game. The more I think about this game— I think we will see a very browns’ like personnel package out there.

yup. Minkah played and Josh made him look silly. Not sure you remember— but that corner TD pass to Gabe Davis in the Steelers game. Minkah was basically dating Josh to throw it and I think grossly underestimated Josh’s arm strength. He zipped the ball in and minkah couldn’t even get near it. that’s why I am less concerned with Honey Badger. Josh has made a lot of elite DB’s this year look really bad. If guys like Minkah, Howard, Sherman, and Jackson were getting schooled, I am Not sure there is true shutdown-type DB that can stop Allen and Diggs.

People thought I was kidding when I said that I was predicting Lee Smith to be the biggest difference maker this week. I think we will see more of him and a Knox out there. They are going to pound it at times— not necessarily a lot— and get sneaky with the TE’s in the pass game. sort of what they did to Miami in the week 17 game.

Honey Badger is a baller. But I would put Minkah ahead of him re best safety in the league today.

I still think EB ends up there.

We are out of town and so I missed the game. Appreciate the summary. Glad to hear Griffin played better. When Pitt smoked us, he was probably the weakest link— get crushed on the boards and on D and forcing a lot of shots. I assume Edwards went back into the abyss? Was hoping he would be a regular part of the rotation.

Not sure I am following you here. Are you saying the Chiefs were playing off and soft in the 4th quarter of the week 6 game?

I totally forgot about DHGate until someone on here reminded me. I got an old takeo off there, and it was great. Got my Josh Allen off there, and it’s great— high-quality stitching. It’s better than my NFL store old Bruce Smith jersey. If you are worried about quality, these jerseys are solid. But I get it if you want to get something local or official, or want a bigger size.
